One of my favorite parts of this business has always been the design side of it.
I never really know what someone is going to walk through the door wanting to create.
Sometimes a customer comes in with a vision already in their head. They know what they want it to feel like, the direction they want to go, and it’s my job to take that idea and figure out how to make it work.
Other times I get, “Here’s what I like… you take it from here.”
I honestly enjoy both.
There’s something about starting with an idea — whether it’s mine, the customer’s, or a little bit of both — and watching it turn into something completely unique to them.
That’s the part that keeps this business interesting for me.
No two customers are the same, so why should everything we create look the same?
And I’ve got a few new design projects coming up that I’m pretty excited about.
Stay tuned. There are some cool ones taking shape.
